This afternoon, Thursday January 2 at 5:00PM PST on KMUD, Redwood Community Radio, Garberville, CA, you can hear the 46th episode of The SHARC Report; A Show All About Radio for Radio Lovers Like You.

I recorded this edition of The SHARC Report at the club’s holiday pot-luck get together. I hoped to get a few candid interviews with the jovial ambiance of a party in the background. I think it worked out pretty well, perhaps one of the best episodes to date.

I really enjoy audio engineering, even more than I enjoy hosting the show. This approach presented certain challenges from an engineering perspective, and I had to conduct the interviews spontaneously while mingling at a party. I’m really pleased that the show came out sounding pretty good. I hope you enjoy it!

This month, the SHARC Report presents a Summer Mystery. We will discuss one of the biggest mysteries in radio, the “numbers stations” These mysterious stations broadcast long lists of seemingly random numbers. They began appearing during the Cold War, and some of them continue today. Many people suspect that they broadcast coded messages intended for spies operating undercover. We will listen to a few of them, tell you what is known about them, and let you know how to listen to them yourself. tune into The SHARC Report on Thursday, Aug. 1 at 5pm on KMUD Garberville.
